BIOGRAPHY

Hannah Mills first teamed up with 470 partner Saskia Clark in February 2011 and the pair saw immediate success on the water as a silver medal at the 2011 World Championships was followed by gold at the 2012 470 World Championships.

At London 2012, Mills and Clark took silver after losing out to Kiwi pair Jo Aleh and Olivia Powrie on the final race, winning one of five sailing medals collected by Team GB at the Games.

Four years later at Rio 2016, Mills and Clark went one better and became Olympic champions in Brazil to end the hugely successful partnership on a golden high.

For Mills it all started back home in Wales as she first learned to sail aged eight at Cardiff Sailing Centre.
